A method and an apparatus for generating an image are provided. The method includes: acquiring a screenshot of a webpage preloaded by a terminal as a source image; recognizing connection areas in the source image, and generating first circumscribed rectangular frames outside outlines of the connection areas; combining, in response to determining that a distance between the connection areas is smaller than a preset distance threshold, the connection areas, and generating a second circumscribed rectangular frame outside outlines of the combined connection areas; and generating, based on a nested relationship between the first circumscribed rectangular frames and the second circumscribed rectangular frames and pictures in the first circumscribed rectangular frames, a target image. The first circumscribed rectangular frames and the second circumscribed rectangular frame are respectively generated by recognizing and combining the connection areas in the source image.

Method and apparatus for generating image of webpage content

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for providing search results. The method may include: carrying out search intention analysis on an input search term so as to determine whether the search term includes an answer requirement; if so, using the search term to retrieve answer content corresponding to the answer requirement; obtaining content to be recommended associated with the answer content; and combining the answer content with the content to be recommended so as to generate at least one search result. Abundant search results can be efficiently provided.

Method and apparatus for providing search results

A positioning method and apparatus based on an electronic device or application are disclosed. A particular embodiment of the method comprises: receiving a positioning request from an unpositionable electronic device or application, the positioning request comprising a timestamp acquiring location information of a positionable electronic device or application having a network identification identical to a network identification of the unpositionable electronic device or application, and a timestamp corresponding to the location information; and estimating location information of the unpositionable electronic device or application at a time corresponding to the timestamp of the positioning request, based on the location information of the positionable electronic device or application, the timestamp corresponding to the location information, and the timestamp of the positioning request. According to this embodiment, a high-accuracy positioning for an unpositionable electronic device or application is achieved. Thus, a content pushing or a pushing for an ordered search result based on location information can be customized and optimized, for an unpositionable electronic device or application with an accurate location, and the user may obtain more precise pushing information.

Positioning method and apparatus based on electronic device or application

A method, apparatus and computer program product for spam message detection. The method includes collecting time domain transmission characteristic of a message source; computing frequency domain transmission characteristic of the message source with the time domain transmission characteristic of the message source; and identifying the message source to be a spammer in response to the frequency domain transmission characteristic of the message source satisfying predefined criteria; wherein the steps of the method are carried out using a computer device. An apparatus and computer program product for carrying out the above method is also provided.

Method and apparatus for spam message detection

A method and apparatus for spam short message detection. The method includes obtaining sending characteristics of at least two suspected short message sources, judging whether the two suspected short message sources have similar sending characteristics, and determining the two suspected short message sources as spammer if they have similar sending characteristics. A spammer that makes multiple short message sources send short messages alternately can be detected through similar sending characteristics of the short message sources.
